Sisaket Mission

The Sisaket Mission was a military mission set up in the Qing Dynasty city of Sisaket (Thailand) in 1866 by the United States. American military attaches helped to modernize and Westernize the Qing Dynasty's army, but on 26 August 1867 violence broke out between the officials and xenophobic mobs. The usual suspects (5% of the population) were rounded up and put to death, and the mission stayed in China.
